Amiibo of the Week: KirbyKirby was created by Masahiro Sakurai, and first appeared in Kirby's Dream Land for the Gameboy, where he was not pink, but white. Kirby has starred in about 25 different games, with different features in each one. For example, in Kirby's Epic Yarn, you control Yarn Kirby, and in Kirby: Mass Attack, you control multiple smaller Kirby's. Kirby's most recent game is Kirby: Planet Robobot for the Nintendo 3DS. In it, Kirby gains the power to use Mech Suits with all different powerups, and also introduces new abilities, including Doctor and Poison.

You can use the Kirby amiibo in Planet Robobot to unlock the special UFO powerup, or use it in Mario Maker to get a costume. Or, you can tap the Kirby amiibo in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse and use the Star Dash power whenever you want, not just when you collect 100 stars.
